Title: Nigerian Fraud - LOL
Post by: TehBorken on Jul 12 06 09:11
Nigerian fraudsters crack me up- they must be dumber than a bag of hammers.

Right now one of them is attempting to order 20 of a particular item for himself. Unfortunately for him, it's the kind of thing you can only use one of (it's kind of like ordering 20 Lasik surgeries for yourself). A tad suspicious, lol. Hmmm, maybe it's fraud. Yeah, juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust maybe........

I think I'll write him back and tell him that his order can't be filled "because we don't approve of  his haircut."

Now he wants to send me a .PDF of his card to "prove it's real". Yeah, that'll convince me.

Neither have I, SD.  Talk about feeling left out!  But if I ever get one, am I ever going to have fun.  I'll post it here and ask all of you for input on how to respond.
